For example, on a Dell PowerEdge system with ''four'' BCM5709 on-board network adapters, a 82572EI single port adapter and a 82576 dual port network adapter, on-board network adapters would display as follows:

−

Make sure your system is booted into Rawhide kernel and has at least one add-in network controller plugged into the available PCI slot.

1. Identify the add-in network adapters in your system. Use instructions from the link 'https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Onboard_Network_Interface_Names' to identify the onboard network devices. The rest are add-in network adapters.

All the add-in PCI network interfaces should get named as per their physical location in the system motherboard.

# All the add-in PCI network interfaces should get named as per their physical location in the system motherboard. The expected naming format is <code>pciM#N</code> where <code>M</code> is the PCI slot number, and <code>N</code> is the port number on the device.

Description

This test case verifies that the interface names for adapters on Add-in PCI slots are of the form pci<slot>#<port>_<virtual function instance>.

Setup

Make sure your system is booted into a Fedora 22 or Rawhide kernel and has at least one add-in network controller plugged into the available PCI slot.

How to test

Identify the add-in network adapters in your system. Use instructions here to identify the on-board network devices. Any remaining network devices are add-in network adapters. Output from the command lspci can help identify add-in adapters.
For example, on a Dell PowerEdge system with four BCM5709 on-board network adapters, a 82572EI single port adapter and a 82576 dual port network adapter, on-board network adapters would display as follows:

Expected Results

All the add-in PCI network interfaces should get named as per their physical location in the system motherboard. The expected naming format is pciM#N where M is the PCI slot number, and N is the port number on the device.
